The hours we spent with your family were many..skating to dancing or just visiting. Remember when our moms thought they should take a first aid class so they would practice on bandaging each other on a rollaway in your living room and it folded up on them, they laughed so hard they wet their pants.It was priceless. That is just on of our memories..there are many roller skating stories..and oh my gosh we don’t even want to start on the dances.
Our thoughts and prayers are with your family at this time. Your family did a great job taking care of your mom for so many years.

I remember how much June loved music and how she loved to dance. I worked for June and Irv during my high school years approx. 1950 to 1954. She was so kind to me as I loved roller-skating and dancing as well. I have such fond memories of those years, and it was the first time ever in my young life that I had such a beautiful upstairs room with my very own bathroom in their lovely lake home. I am saddened to hear of her death my condolences to her family and friends.
